Oh, I think there's a period where the discussions are built up. Where
one, two or three people are doing all the posting. Usually one of the
group takes it offline and that's where it goes, but sometimes, the
initiated or, to be nice, the indifferent, keep posting to the group.
This is the same as if you were working a deal or getting some info just
for yourself.
It's just ettiquette (I really don't know how it's spelled).
You don't have to follow it, and most people let it go, but after one or
two complaints you should let it go. Usually one or two complaints
means there's 10 or 12 in the wings.
And, you have to admit, those were getting out of hand....
